I absolutely respect the office and no matter who is President in a time of crisis we stand united as Americans.
Unlike liberals I also don't spread rumors, lies, and distort a President's record of the opposite party. I can, and do, however point out when a President is incompetent and a failure as Jimmy Carter was. That is no reflection on the office of the Presidency. It is a reflection on Jimmy Carter and his policies.
I am 50 years old and was a young man starting out in life with a wife and family when I had to deal with the 18% inflation rate and 21% interest rates of the Jimmy Carter Presidency. Not to mention the negative whining he did (google "Jimmy Carter malaise speech" for a sample of his inspiration). Way back in the 70's trying to tell Americans we were in decline and that those of us that were young then would not have the same standard of living our parents had, that we were in an age of "scarcity". He was Al Gore long before Al Gore.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
